FAQs
Are these trainers waterproof?
While the leather offers some natural resistance, they are not fully waterproof. It is recommended to use a protective spray.
Can I put these in the washing machine?
No. Machine washing will damage the leather and the metal hardware. Clean by hand with a soft cloth.
Do these run true to size?
Yes, the Carvela Altezza fits standard UK sizing for a size 7.
What should I use to clean the soles?
Use a damp sponge with mild soapy water to wipe down the outer rubber soles.
Is the zip on the side functional?
The side zip is primarily a design feature intended to complement the lace-up closure.
Troubleshooting
Leather feels stiff or tight
Wear the trainers for short periods indoors with thick socks to help stretch the leather naturally.
Gunmetal zip is sticking
Gently rub a small amount of clear candle wax or a graphite pencil tip along the zip teeth to improve movement.
Scuff marks on the leather surface
Apply a small amount of black leather polish to a soft cloth and gently buff the affected area.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your trainers last, consider treating them with a leather protector spray before the first wear to guard against moisture and stains. If the leather becomes scuffed, use a matching black shoe cream or wax to buff out imperfections. To keep the interior fresh, ensure they are stored in a cool, dry place and allow them to air out after heavy use. Since these are UK size 7, they are compatible with standard-width feet; if you find them snug initially, wearing slightly thinner socks during the first two hours of wear will help the leather mold to your foot shape naturally.
